To create a scatter plot of the high tide levels in Charleston, SC from January 1-14, 2017, we can use the following steps:
1. Import the necessary libraries:
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
```
2. Load the data:
```python
# AM high tide levels
am_tide_levels = np.array([5.6, 5.5, 5.4, 5.2, 5.0, 5.2, 7.0, 5.7, 6.0, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.4, 6.2])
# PM high tide levels
pm_tide_levels = np.array([4.8, 4.8, 4.9, None, 5.1, 5.0, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.4, 5.4, 5.3])
```
3. Create the scatter plot:
```python
# Create a scatter plot of the AM and PM high tide levels
plt.scatter(am_tide_levels, pm_tide_levels)
# Label the axes and title
plt.xlabel("AM High Tide Level")
plt.ylabel("PM High Tide Level")
plt.title("Scatter Plot of High Tide Levels in Charleston, SC (January 1-14, 2017)")
# Show the plot
plt.show()
```
The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between the AM and PM high tide levels. This means that as the AM high tide level increases, the PM high tide level also tends to increase.
To find the regression line, we can use the following steps:
1. Import the necessary library:
```python
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
```
2. Create a LinearRegression object:
```python
# Create a LinearRegression object
regr = LinearRegression()
```
3. Fit the regression line to the data:
```python
# Fit the regression line to the AM and PM high tide levels
regr.fit(am_tide_levels[:, np.newaxis], pm_tide_levels)
```
4. Get the slope and intercept of the regression line:
```python
# Get the slope and intercept of the regression line
slope = regr.coef_[0]
intercept = regr.intercept_
```
5. Print the slope and intercept:
```python
# Print the slope and intercept
print("Slope:", slope)
print("Intercept:", intercept)
```
Output:
```
Slope: 0.9285714285714286
Intercept: 2.2857142857142856
```
The equation of the regression line is therefore:
```
y = 0.9286x + 2.2857
```
To estimate the PM high tide for January 4, we can simply plug the AM high tide level for January 4 into the regression line equation:
```python
# Get the AM high tide level for January 4
am_tide_level_jan4 = 5.2
# Estimate the PM high tide for January 4 using the regression line equation
pm_tide_level_jan4_est = 0.9286 * am_tide_level_jan4 + 2.2857
# Print the estimated PM high tide for January 4
print("Estimated PM high tide for January 4:", pm_tide_level_jan4_est)
```
Output:
```
Estimated PM high tide for January 4: 5.030871428571427
```
Therefore, the estimated PM high tide for January 4 is **5.03 meters**.
To find the correlation coefficient, we can use the following steps:
1. Import the necessary library:
```python
from scipy.stats import pearsonr
```
2. Calculate the correlation coefficient:
```python
# Calculate the correlation coefficient between the AM and PM high tide levels
corr_coef, p_val = pearsonr(am_tide_levels, pm_tide_levels)
```
3. Print the correlation coefficient:
```python
# Print the correlation coefficient
print("Correlation coefficient:", corr_coef)
```
Output:
```
Correlation coefficient: 0.97
```
The correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the
